NEW MG ZS EV (156 hp) - POV drive & walkaround

[@dannazione653]

ayo babe wake up, johnny pov just posted a new video-

[@johnnypovdrives]

Yes, come see! 👌😄

[@mjs7172]

Got mine 2 weeks ago and love it, same model and colour. Doesn’t wheel spin unless you are over zealous on the accelerator. Haven’t figured how to get the clock on the screen though

[@Harderkantochwel]

Swipe down from the upper side of the screen and press ‘screen off’ if the screen turns dark, change it in settings :)

[@johnnypovdrives]

Yes, the wheel spin demo was mainly to show that the ESC system is not capable to take it all out. @Julius Martijn thanks for the tip!

[@timifie7868]

Fun video to watch! The MG really is, in my opinion an EV with a good range, fine interior and enough space inside. And all that, for quite little money, compared to other EVs. It doesnt look to futuristic, but you still can see that it is an EV or something new. Nice Video :)

[@johnnypovdrives]

It sure makes EV driving accessible to more people. Thanks! 👊😁

[@MrSeweryn747]

The button next to the parking brake you described as engine auto start/off is actually Auto Hold. That's why the car didn't roll when you lifted your foot off the brake pedal earlier in the video. Hope this helps 😄

[@johnnypovdrives]

It does, I had no idea! 🤦‍♂️😂

[@kineticm32]

I never thought I would see a car review ASMR ..

[@johnnypovdrives]

I never thought I would make car ASMR… ✌️😄 Thanks for watching!

[@830jps]

I Have the model before and I love it. Would just like to change the infotainment system to the new one. The older one doesn't have any extra information on the centre console

[@Channel-iu6de]

Getting mine this week! cant wait. Attempted to buy a RAV4 a year ago, have waited 12 months, still apparently another 6 months away!. So opped for an MG, its been a month since I ordered it and its already here! insane.

[@bradle377]

A car that which I afford 😀

[@a.j.willems6414]

I got the standard range, but love the car. No regrets yet

Well I hope that not what she said. But what HE said.

[@munirealtay6498]

Panaromic roof and sportive vibe is good

[@johnnypovdrives]

It is! 👌

[@tooflesstesla]

Really nice POV. I drove one for a week and, as a Tesla owner, I think the MG ZS EV is pretty good (I have videos) and is excellent value for money. A very good EV and the seats are very comfortable too.

[@johnnypovdrives]

It is the best EV for the money. It’s even cheaper than the much smaller Honda e. But I would have more fun in the Honda :)

[@tooflesstesla]

@@johnnypovdrives Totally agree with you about the MG ZS EV being the best bang for your money. I haven't driven the Honda e so can't comment on how it drives (although I heard the range is less?).

[@thearousedeunuch]

4:28 It's good to know that driving fun is still a priority over at MG, somehow.

[@johnnypovdrives]

It does eat front tires if you want it to :)

[@TM86880]

Looks and seems practical. I'm concerned about the wheel spin, say that you're turning a corner and there's some loose gravel/sand, would that be a major concern for say a 'spin out'?

[@johnnypovdrives]

No, in this review I was kinda enthusiastic on the throttle to demonstrate the behavior. Nevertheless I have the feeling you could loose grip when not paying attention, the torque is bigger than the grip and the traction control is to slow to counter that. So I suggest you test that for yourself if you plan on buying one. Thanks for watching!

[@TM86880]

@@johnnypovdrives Thanks for the reply, if it ever hits my country I'll definitely check it out. I've test driven the Hyundai Kona electric and was impressed with the featutes/technology on offer, the only downside is the "rear passenger seating" as its cramped in my opinion and also lacks rear A/C vents.

[@pauld7827]

I've had my ZS EV LR Mk2 (alphabetty spaghetti here) for about 6 months now and if you drive the car without using the full performance, it is fine on any surface. You will make good progress with normal traffic and the regenerative braking makes things really easy.That said, if you get a german manufactured car, sitting on your boot, the power and torque will give you a lot of space extremely quickly! Over the past day or so, turning the air-con on a few minutes before getting to the car is just great! It is cooler than outside and more importantly, dehumidified. As is the heated front screen in the winter! So in the summer you get a cool car and in the winter a warm one, with no ice. Turn the heated seats on and whats not to like?

[@TM86880]

@@pauld7827 Perfect, I hope it lasts you well without any major issues!

[@doddsalfa]

Let’s realise this car is probably faster than vw golf gti 240 hp 0-80 km .After 80 km the gti takes over

[@johnnypovdrives]

It has some great torque in a straight line ✌️😄

[@jamesrennie1227]

Great videos btw.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks! ✨🙏✨

[@Wal-fj2fq]

ThNm you. Is it gün to drive ? What about the safety rate?

[@gillesLegein]

Goeie pov van deze wagen! T is zeker niet slecht prijs/kwaliteit deze nieuwe versie. Ik ben curieus wanneer je de Marvel R test.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks! Marvel R staat voorlopig nog niet op de planning :).

[@thearousedeunuch]

Great video, by the way.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks! ✨🙏✨

[@davidleloup7108]

Very good car. and the price is "wouah"

[@johnnypovdrives]

Yes! Wouah! 💸✌️😄

[@MrSeweryn747]

Looks like a solid electric "luxury" car for city driving at a great price. If the seat lowest position is really poor alike to Hyundai Kona or Kia Niro that'll be a deal breaker for me.

[@johnnypovdrives]

maybe it is fixed in the meanwhile. I heard MG does upgrades along the way, while the cars are already in production. So a 2022 MG ZS EV isn't necessarily the exact same as a 2023 version. 😄

[@ChazWyvern]

Can't wait for ours

[@johnnypovdrives]

Have fun with it!

[@Realford.gaming]

Good car but I wish it comes in rear wheel drive as well

[@johnnypovdrives]

That would be epic. 🥳

[@bitcoinethereum9702]

is it all wheel drive?

[@Mr31Vince]

After standing still it does depart automatically again if its less than 5 seconds, otherwise tap the throttle

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks for the extra info! 👌

[@espens.a1829]

The turn signals make a very loud noise when you use them. can you change this?

[@johnnypovdrives]

I know right! Same with the MG5 I tested, I guess there’s not much you can do about that… 🤷‍♂️

[@HenningStummer]

@@johnnypovdrives I saw in another video that you can set the volume of warning sounds - incl. the turn signal.

[@blingblingboy0522]

Nice

[@justinbyers7472]

Engine start stop on an EV?

[@johnnypovdrives]

04:09 indeed. I didn’t dare to touch it 😄

[@gt3rsgt2rs30]

Very good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks! 👊

[@dinalathia5059]

Does it feel cheap

[@jamesrennie1227]

It's a nice car if I wasn't such a car snob I'd seriously consider one.

[@johnnypovdrives]

No worries, I have the same problem 😅

[@pauld7827]

In the past I changed my Mercedes every 2 years. My sales guys and managers had Mercedes if they wanted them. I've also had Range Rovers, Discovery's, Audi's and so on. When the bean counters got control of Mercedes, quality took a nose dive. I also had (alongside the Mercs) Suzuki 4x4's for about 20 years or so. My last Merc a B Class AMG broke down in the first week of ownership, my previous one broke down several times and it took an independent Merc specialist to fix the issue. The dealer could not find the problem! It was something to do with a throttle body - sounded like a crime to me. The Suzuki's never missed a beat. So I threw away the badge snobbery and bought my MG ZS EV LR Mk2 (phew, lots of letters there) and think it is better than the Audi Hybrid, I hired on my recent holiday. It may have some shortcomings but you can't beat the value for money! The range is more than good enough for most people.

[@ernstpeterlegrand]

I have a strange question. I hope to get one (though the waiting list is enormous. In Thailand where I live, the MG ZS EV is a connected car which I don't like. I have some chats with people on this and the question now is where the antennas for this are because I want to be able to disconnect them. Any idea?

[@johnnypovdrives]

I have no clue 😅. Hope you can get one and find some answers! ✌️

[@sc00zy]

It Will not track The red ligt district m8 😅

[@johnnypovdrives]

The band is called ‘Within Temptation’ I believe, no idea what the song is called. ✌️😄

Fun fact, MG is not allowed in America because they cannot pass pirate safety standards. This has been a fun fact.
